With the CellXpert CO2 Incubators, our skilled service technicians can modify your device on-site – directly in your lab,...

Optimized Growth Conditions A CO2 incubator is the save haven for your cells providing optimal atmospheric conditions. Especially sensitive primary or stem cells are susceptible to temperature increases and will react in adverse ways. When you are planning a complex experiment, or use the cells for a certain application, you want to be sure that the location of the culture vessel inside the incubator has no impact on the cells and experimental result. Uniform temperature verified at 27 spots inside the incubator (German DIN 12880) To accurately compare cell growth in vessels at different locations...

Vibration and turbulence protection by fanless design Have you ever experienced variations between cells grown in vessels on different shelves, especially between the top shelf and others? These differences can be caused by air turbulences that disrupt the protective micro-atmosphere above the medium. Air turbulence can be generated by fans used to circulate the atmosphere inside of standard incubators. Additionally, uneven cell growth occurs as a result of vibration to the vessels from the fan – especially in the case of sensitive cells. These effects can be avoided with fanless incubators like...

The Future of Smart Cultivation Pre-installed, customer-programmed tasks and alarms can be easily set directly at the VisioNize touch interface Stay connected to critical information about the CellXpert C170i even when you are not in the lab with remote monitoring and notifications enabled by VisioNize Smart Cultivation with CellXpert & VisioNize® Establish specific cell-conserving user habits in your lab and relieve you off the burdens of daily routines. Easy and Comprehensive Documentation Filter and export performance charts, events, or HTD-protocols within seconds to fulfill ever-increasing...

Nowhere to hide for contaminants and cleaned fast: The smooth, seamless surface of the CellXpert chamber with fanless design. Convenience by Design If it´s easy to do, it’s more likely to get done – seamless chamber & minimized internal parts Do you remember the last time you cleaned your incubator? How much time did you spend to disassemble and remove internal chamber parts? How much time did it take to wipe down every little corner of the chamber and shelf supports? Did you have to remove internal HEPA filters before starting an HTD, just to put these non-sterile potential sources of contamination...

Easy Cleaning and Reliable Contamination Protection Easy and effective 180 °C High Temperature Disinfection (HTD) The 180 °C HTD that comes standard on the CellXpert C170i ensures a high level of contamination protection. There is no need to store or handle toxic reagents to effectively disinfect the CellXpert incubator. The user interface provides short, clear, and illustrated step-by-step instructions, to ensure a standardized and complete pre-HTD cleaning. This procedure is sensorsupported for a high protection in case of user errors. High quality and durable CO2 sensors remain in the chamber...

Fan-less design = No costly, fan-associated internal HEPA filters The CellXpert CO2 Incubators provide a powerful anticontamination concept that includes an easy-to-clean, seamless chamber, high temperature disinfection (HTD), easy-to-remove single-piece water tray, and options like antimicrobial copper surfaces and segmented doors. One of the strongest contamination protectors in the CellXpert is the fan-less design. It effectively reduces the spread of airborne contaminants and therefore eliminates the need for fan-associated internal HEPA filters. Generally, HEPA filter cartridges are heat-sensitive...

Enhanced Ergonomics Reduce stress and speed up your workflow Working in a cell culture lab is often associated with physical and psychological stress (e.g. working under time constraints, high noise and poor ergonomics; constant disinfection and care to avoid contamination; processing of many samples per day; and handling of various vessel types). This stress not only reduces your well-being and can lead to errors in the workflow, but could also contribute to illness in the long term. For the development of CellXpert incubators, Eppendorf rethought some major construction concepts of other CO2...
